Approximately 45,000 tons of polystyrene are produced and used annually in Australia. The majority of this polystyrene is intended for long-term use, such as in engineering and house construction as insulating boards. 
However, after being in temporary or throwaway packaging, around 40%, or 18,000 tons annually, are recyclable. There are numerous pollutants in the waste polystyrene that is thrown away.According to the Australian Packaging Association, the percentage of recycled polystyrene utilized in packaging is a mere 29.7%. A portion of the issue stems from the fact that tiny fragments of polystyrene get mixed up with other recyclable materials in curbside bins and end up being classified as pollution.

So is efficient polystyrene recycling possible in Australia? The answer is yes. As an expert in polystyrene recycling, GREENMAX has helped many Australian customers realize the recycling of expanded polystyrene. These waste polystyrenes come from various industries and rely on different polystyrene recycling equipment to help achieve efficient recycling. What is even more proud is that some of the Australian customers belong to the government and public welfare sectors, which just proves that various regions in Australia are paying more and more attention to the recycling of polystyrene.

Moire shire council is a local government area in Northern Victoria, Victoria, Australia. Located in the northeastern part of the state. The region started recycling polystyrene as early as ten years ago. During the years of recycling, it has also tried to use a variety of polystyrene recycling equipment. It was in the process of continuous pursuit of high-quality machines that we learned about GREENMAX. Finally, after the engineer's introduction and analysis, we chose to use the GREENMAX polystyrene melting machine to help with recycling.

What are the advantages of GREENMAX polystyrene melting machine?

First of all, GREENMAX polystyrene melting machine is a piece of equipment that uses hot melt technology. This equipment has two main obvious advantages. On the one hand, the polystyrene melting machine has a high compression ratio, which is very suitable for customers who pursue high compression ratios. The compression ratio of this equipment can reach 90:1, which greatly saves transportation. Cost and warehouse space. On the other hand, the operation of this polystyrene recycling equipment is relatively simple and is not as demanding as the operation of cold pressing equipment. Ordinary factory workers can also skillfully operate the equipment in a short time.

Not just in Australia, recycling polystyrene has become a common situation around the world. Only efficient recycling is the strong backing. If you want to learn more about more recycling cases, please feel free to contact us at any time.
